Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this project is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a hospice decision aid among a diverse population of older adults at multiple stages of illness (Aim 1) and to determine the preliminary efficacy of the hospice decision aid on decision quality, hospice knowledge, and values-concordance (Aim 2). By testing the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a novel hospice Patient Decision Aid (PTDa) in a diverse population of older adults, additionally the study will simultaneously explore barriers to PtDA implementation in both an outpatient primary care and inpatient palliative care setting. The study will also gather sufficient pilot data to support a subsequent effectiveness/implementation trial and thus address the absence of quality of SDM interventions for end-of-life care decision-making.

Primary Hospice Knowledge Scale Hospice Knowledge Scale is a 23-item true/false scale that measures patient knowledge about hospice care. Each question is worth 1 point with possible scores ranging from 0 to 23. Higher scores indicate more knowledge. 1 month follow-up
Primary Hospice Beliefs and Attitudes Scale 8-item scale developed to measure beliefs and attitudes towards hospice care. It has a Cronbach's a = .74 for the scale, indicating a good degree of internal reliability. Scores from 8 to 40. Higher scores indicate better opinions of hospice. . 1-Month follow up
Primary Decision Self Efficacy Scale Is an 11-item instrument that one's self-confidence in decision making. This scale is a validated scale with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.92 and correlates with DCS subscale of being informed (r=0.47). Scored from 0-100 with higher scores indicating more decision self efficacy. 1 month Follow up
